Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

podcast-generation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/generate.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Podcast Generation

Generate podcast audio from text content. The workflow: create a structured JSON dialogue script, then execute audio generation via a bundled Python script that handles TTS synthesis and audio mixing.

All script paths below are relative to this skill's directory. Resolve them against the directory containing the manifest file shown in <location> (e.g., if <location> is ~/.comis/skills/podcast-generation/SKILL.md, then scripts/generate.py means ~/.comis/skills/podcast-generation/scripts/generate.py). Invoke the resolved script by its absolute path while keeping the tool working directory inside the execution workspace. Never set cwd to the skill directory; it is outside workspace bounds. In command examples below, replace each relative scripts/... path with its resolved absolute path.

Write script files and generated outputs to your workspace directory (shown in the "Workspace" section of your system prompt).

The bundled script requires the requests Python package (pip install requests).

Workflow

Step 1: Understand requirements

Identify from the user's request:

  • Source content: The text/article/report to convert
  • Language: en or zh (based on content)

Step 2: Create script JSON

Write a structured JSON script file to your workspace directory with naming pattern {descriptive-name}-script.json.

{
  "title": "Episode Title",
  "locale": "en",
  "lines": [
    {"speaker": "male", "paragraph": "Hello Deer! Welcome back to another episode."},
    {"speaker": "female", "paragraph": "Hey everyone! Today we have an exciting topic."},
    {"speaker": "male", "paragraph": "That's right! We're going to talk about..."}
  ]
}

Fields:

  • title: Episode title (optional, used as heading in transcript)
  • locale: Language code -- "en" or "zh"
  • lines: Array of dialogue lines, each with speaker ("male" or "female") and paragraph

Step 3: Execute generation

python3 scripts/generate.py \
  --script-file ~/.comis/workspace/script-file.json \
  --output-file ~/.comis/workspace/generated-podcast.mp3 \
  --transcript-file ~/.comis/workspace/generated-podcast-transcript.md

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
